Hey Daisho! Do you ever play any magic in real life?

[IzDaisho]

@ORusty222 Yup!

[princetwig]

Nice how you played blue there Daisho! Do you run all the draw cards in it? Would you recommend it? Because I think I run all except one Jace's ingenuity and maybe one divinate...

[IzDaisho]

@princetwig Divination is the best draw card in the deck. And yes I run all of them.

[princetwig]

@IzDaisho OK thanks I'll probably throw them all back in then.

[xMoores]

I enjoyed that!

[IzDaisho]

@xMoores Thanks!

[tuna1694]

[IzDaisho]

@tuna1694 Protection from black.

[legovids2]

[IzDaisho]

@legovids2 Nope :P

[TheNatcon1]

Why the hell didn't you play bribery when he had no cards in hand? Were you worried about him top decking a faiths fetters (thats the only thing in his deck that could have dealt with it)? There wasn't any reason to wait because you didn't even have a counter spell in hand.

[oliwa09]

@TheNatcon1 Yes, in hind sight it's easy to say what someone 'should of done' in a match. However, Daisho plays to win, as I do and in this case it wouldn't of matter'd if he played bribery earlier or later. Being that as it is, playing the safer way will win more games than it'll lose them.

[IzDaisho]

@TheNatcon1 Fetters, Damnation, black's sun or sign in blood to draw into one of those. There was actually a pretty decent chance one of those would happen.

I had jace's inguinuities and was trying to draw into one.

[RubicksHD]

Well played Daisho. You certainly stayed patient and it payed off.

[IzDaisho]

@RubicksHD Thanks man.

[eYeRthaVillain]

...whats a sourer of temptation? ______ is fundamental

[mlucasmusic]

Great game!

[IzDaisho]

@mlucasmusic Thank ya sir!

[VirvumTheOmnipotent]

good shit bro

[IzDaisho]

@VirvumTheOmnipotent Thanks!

[ansith27]

Hey Daisho, a little off topic I guess but what do you think about Dark Ascension so far?

[IzDaisho]

@ansith27 I played a draft with it as 1/3, the other 2/3 was innistrad and did pretty well. Built a nice deck. Undying is sometimes a bit OP. Guy who won had multiple young wolfs and a strangleroot guist. I went 2-1 but my loss was completely due to player error.

[ansith27]

@IzDaisho Yah, I didnt run an Undying deck and it was tricky to deal with sometimes. I pulled a nice assortment of spirits including the captain dude that's the Lord of Unreal for spirits and he was quite useful. Went 3-1 (all 3 wins were 2-1s) and the loss was to a very nicely put together Sorin deck. Had some nice early game blockers to get his bombs out. Took home 4 packs though so I that went pretty well. The reg release is a little pricey for me so prob gonna skip that one.

[airmaxhater]

You sound happy :)

[IzDaisho]

@airmaxhater I like winning :P

[Kefko]

realm is sooo yawn... If I  my opponent plays bribery I just pause and leave the game. That card should cost 7 to be even close to fair. Nobody looks through my pile for 5. Have fun with a banned card win. Fine by me.

[Rathianhunter]

@Kefko Bribery is only banned in 1 format

[Kefko]

@Rathianhunter

Ok fine but counterspell is banned too and what other deck even has banned cards in their pile.

Dunno if you were trying to be educational or try to rationalize it. The latter is not debatable IMO.

[RubicksHD]

@Kefko Stoneforge Mistic is banned too. 

[IzDaisho]

@Kefko Looking through your deck? You can do that for 0 mana... surgical extraction. Bribery is pretty good in this format but not even a win-con against some decks like vamps, strength of stone, auramancer or many others depending on how you run them. That being said very few cards are even banned for being good... cards get banned because they combo with other cards resulting in the fact that nobody can play any other deck.

[IzDaisho]

@Kefko For instance wild nacatl is banned in Modern because it makes it impossible to run any other deck. You needed to run zoo or you would lose. With one of your main tools taken away people are now free to build other decks.

I don't know what you're saying about counterspell... that's not banned anywhere.

Stoneforge is banned in formats people actually play... never heard of the format that bribery is banned.

Wheel of fortune and punishing fire are also banned...

[customxspunjah]

Mind spring went unused...what a surprise

[IzDaisho]

@customxspunjah Just because I didn't use it doesn't mean it wasn't useful. If he had drawn answers for me it would have been my win condition. I could have drawn 5+ cards within which one or two at least would have had to win me the game.

[customxspunjah]

@IzDaisho Imo, the sorcery-speed kills it. If you tap out to draw, you lose turn and he gets a free pass to lay anything...had he laid any of his angels (esp. desolation angel) he would have had high odds of winning unless you drew into a repulse. The other instant-speed draw cards are great because you can have cancel mana/repluse mana/curfew mana open and if you don't use it then you pick up the extra cards...idk i'm having a hard time running that card and actually using it ftw :/

[jrocsal]

@HorrawrXBL preordain is already in the game. It just needs a deck to call home. The mechanic is possible doe.

[bushi11PL]

IMO you play too slow. Instead making fun and wait with mana for cancel you should play bribery and finish the game... If he would kill it so what: you had evac in hand + many control spell.

[oliwa09]

@bushi11PL You probably don't win too often, do you... IMO!

[bushi11PL]

@oliwa09 Try harder, trolly noob.

[oliwa09]

@bushi11PL The only 'troll' comment was the IMO part. The rest of it still stands as a legitimate thought.

I bet you don't win too often if that is how you play. Plus, Daisho's making a youtube video.

[bushi11PL]

@oliwa09 He makes video, so?? Lol...

+ his field advantage was overwhelming

[IzDaisho]

@bushi11PL Playing safe wins games more than dropping bombs for no reason. I waited until I had ridiculous card advantage before dropping it. I really should have mind springed to make sure I had cancels in hand but got lazy.

[bushi11PL]

@IzDaisho You had overhelming field advantage already.When you extended, you only wasted time + gave the enemy a chance to draw something unbelievable. You hadn't to controll him more, you had complet control of game...

[xpaco555]

good stuff as always man!

[IzDaisho]

@xpaco555 Thanks!!

[qgroundhog]

thanks Daisho, I love your commentaries and gameplays they help me alot mate!

[IzDaisho]

@qgroundhog You're quite welcome!

[countbassy]

Blue Sun's Zenith is great card, better than Mind Spring...but NOT in this game. When your opponent can "magically" jump back into their 2nd main from endstep, it pretty much negates the positives of instant card draw. I hope they fix that in future titles.

[IzDaisho]

@countbassy Unfortunate but true. Make jace's ingenuity far worse as well as repulse.

[cj2121212121]

And desolation angel would've just destroyed all of your lands (as it reads as a 'comes into play' ability).

[IzDaisho]

@cj2121212121 Indeed he would have.

[KAOSHazmatt]

0:10 - Daisho, Magic playing alcoholic...

[IzDaisho]

@KAOSHazmatt ? K...

[KAOSHazmatt]

@IzDaisho When you said "I might have played realm a couple days ago but don't remember" it made me think you were hammered at the time.

[HorrawrXBL]

@cj2121212121 Magic needs to release another expansion and not so many decks. I want new cards in each deck as well.

[cj2121212121]

@HorrawrXBL I don't know, the new mechanics have mainly come in with the last deck pack (cascade, flanking; and real flushed out OTK combos). I'll agree that new cards for old decks should come into play, though.

[HorrawrXBL]

Man I wish the deck had preordain or ponder. Overall good deck and nice duels Daisho.

[cj2121212121]

@HorrawrXBL Those mechanics probably won't ever hit this game, though (hopefully they'll be in the next one).

[IzDaisho]

@HorrawrXBL Haha that'd be very very good. Probably far too good. Realm is good enough.
